2014 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Petrol · FL14 VGP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT on January 23 2026 at 115,444 miles. While the maintenance trend appears stable with three clean passes in the preceding years, the most recent test de-facto failure just seven miles prior indicates a lapse in preventative maintenance. The failure involved a worn offside tyre, track rod end issues, and a horn malfunction, suggesting that components are only addressed once forced by a test failure rather than through proactive servicing. The mileage pattern is consistent with the age of a 2014 registration, averaging approximately 9,600 miles per year. There is a steady accumulation of usage, with 4,500 miles recorded between April 2023 and January 2024, and another 8,700 miles between January 2025 and January 2026. This regular use is generally beneficial for preventing seal degradation and brake-related corrosion, though the total distance of 115,444 miles places significant mileage on wear-sensitive items like suspension bushings and drivetrain components. A buyer should specifically inspect the front assembly during a physical inspection. The January 2026 failure highlighted excessive play in the nearside front track rod end and deteriorated dust covers on both sides, which indicates the steering geometry is requiring attention. It is vital to verify that these parts were replaced with quality components and that no secondary damage has occurred to the steering rack. Given the history of a tyre tread depth failure below the legal limit, the buyer should also check the remaining life on all four tyres and test the functionality of basic electrical components like the horn to ensure the recent repairs were completed comprehensively.
